(September 17, 2024) Report from the City Manager

Summary

At its meeting on July 24, 2024, City Council approved the award of a contract to construct and deliver two new fully electric ferry vessels for operations to and from Toronto Island. This report in response to Council's request outlines the work plan to install shoreside infrastructure at Jack Layton Ferry Terminal ("Shoreside Infrastructure Project") to enable operation of new electric ferries, beginning with the vessels scheduled to arrive in Q4 2026 and Q2 2027 and including other electric replacement vessels to be added to the City's ferry fleet. No capital work is required at the Toronto Islands to enable operation of electric ferries. The work plan presents the tasks and associated timelines required to complete the shoreside infrastructure including the design, permits and approvals, procurement and construction phases.

 

The report also presents the roles and responsibilities within City divisions, CreateTO and Toronto Hydro to effectively advance the project and ensure oversight regarding project budget, timelines, quality control and integration with parallel projects and with ferry operations.

 

The shoreside infrastructure is scheduled to be installed by Q3 2026 in advance of the delivery of the first new ferry, the passenger and vehicle vessel, in Q4 (November) 2026 and the new passenger vessel in Q2 (April) 2027. The upgrades to Jack Layton Ferry Terminal will include charging and electrical infrastructure and modifications to the ferry berths to support the new ferries.
